7x-2+=6x+2

Move 6x to the other side. Sign changes from +6x to -6x.

7x-6x-2=6x-6x+2

7x-6x-2=2

x-2=2

Move -2 to the other side. Sign changes from -2 to +2.

x-2+2=2+2

x=4

Answer: x=4

Write an algebraic rule for the trend line. Report your rule in slope intercept form.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

y = 5x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the slope intercept form equation of the trend line

The general form is:

y =

mx + b

b is slope and m

is the y-intercept

b = 20

To get the slope, we select any two points and use the slope formula

we have the points;

(10,70) and (5,45)

The slope formula is;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (45-70)/(5-10) = -25/-5 = 5

The equation of the line is thus;

y = 5x + 20

1. A boat is 18 ft away from a point perpendicular to the shoreline. A person stands at a point down the shoreline so that a 68°

slega [8]

Answer:

19.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

When calculating distances using perpendicular angles, we use trig functions such as Sin, Cos, and Tan.

Sine is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the opposite side to the angle over the hypotenuse.
Cosine is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the adjacent side to the angle over the hypotenuse.
Tangent is defined in a perpendicular triangle as the ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side.

Because our angle and know side value are across from each other and we need to know the hypotenuse, we chose to use Sine.

We set up the equation $sin (68) = \frac{18}{h}$ .

We isolate h by multiplying h across the equal sign and dividing sin (68) across as well. $sin (68) = \frac{18}{h}\\hsin (68) = \frac{18}{h}*h\\hsin (68) = 18\\\frac{hsin (68)}{sin (68)} =\frac{18}{sin (68)} \\$

And finally we have $h=\frac{18}{sin (68)}$ . We input to calculator.

$h=\frac{18}{0.92718} \\h=19.4 feet$

See the attached picture below showing the shore with the boat out at sea and the position of the person.

Answer:

I'm pretty sure a set a decimal fractions is {1/4, 1/2, 3/4}

I think a set of whole numbers is {3, 4, 5.}

A set of integers might be {-2, -1, 0, +1.}

I'm am sure a set of natural numbers is {1, 2, 3.}

The set if rational numbers is {0.1, 0.2, 0.3} I think.

I am not that sure if my answers are right or not so sorry if this is incorrect.
